Thanks all, I'm a saltwater fishing guy, just trying to do something different. Used to catch crappie when I was a kid and trying to do some this year. In my area, we have Lake Corpus Christi, Choke Canyon and Coleto Creek. Went to Choke Canyon back in January - nada. Went to Coleto twice with minnows and jigs, just caught undersize bass and a few nice cats. Really trying to tune into the crappie fishing. Someone at the ramp told me I needed Livescope, so maybe that's in order when I can build up the funds. We really like Coleto Creek, nice lake and facilties, pretty water, not as crowded. Anyone have tips for Coleto? thanks.
